    Shift F1 selects all factories.
    Shift F2 selects all idle factories.
    Shift F3 selects all factories on screen.
    Shift f4 selects all idle factories on screen.

    that might be the default setting, you can change it.

    Yeah that's true.

    Cola I've found that your hotkeys don't actually overwrite the default ones. I use b to switch between build tabs, so when I'm in any tab other than all and economy, my hotkeys to build energy and mex (s and d, respectively) will do what they are supposed to do by default. (stop and whatever d does)

    So shift f1 probably still selects all factories. It probably also recalls camera position 1.

    The mod indeed does not reconfigure existing hotkeys, why would it? It cleary states in the OP that you are supposed to do that yourself :p

    Exactly! but I mean if you leave them as vanilla, your hotkeys take priority during clashes. So as long as you didn't change those defaults, you should still be able to use them. Give it a try!

    Why would I want to use the defaults? I have bound all functions I need to the keys I want them on. I am happy with my config.

    Also the behavior you found is probably only like this since a recent version of hotbuild that is a bit more intelligent.

    I mean if you hit shift + f key, it should select all your factories. That's what I meant. It shouldn't clash because it's a separate keybind.

    Weird, it works for me. Do you have any other mods? Can you start the UI Debugger and check if it shows any js errors?

    I just realized that one of my last updates resulted in buggy behavior when using F keys (and maybe some other special keys). To be precise it mapped them to other keys, i.e. F3 would select a radar to be build, F2 would select patrol.

    Fixed in the newest version.

    I wonder if there is an easy way to clear the necessary shortcuts.

    It could be done by a script, but it is not that much work to do it by hand.

    Hey really liking this mod.
    Question in the map.js file the numbers are just the decimal representation of ASCII code right ?

    Can you change with this file the default camera key pan buttons ?
    The reason I ask is cause I have an azerty keyboard and don't want to switch my layout each time I play the game. See Bug 2686.

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    Read the comment at the top of the map.js file ;)

    You cannot change any keys that the game already has, it does not touch any of that. Hotbuild was written when PA had no keys of it's own ;)

    I don't use keys to pan my view, so I have no idea how that is implemented, sorry.
